There are two ways you can have your teeth whitened. Although they are similar, one method can be done at home, the other at the dental clinic. Both of these methods require an initial consultation at Queen Square Dental. Your dentist will examine your teeth and we’ll discuss the best options for you.
At-home teeth whitening involves making a custom-made whitening tray that fits your teeth for maximum exposure to the whitening agent. You can then choose the best teeth whitening system and formulas for you.
Your at-home teeth whitening treatment will either be one you apply for an hour or so during the day or formula you apply before you go to bed and leave it to work while you sleep. At-home whitening is convenient and you can apply them while sleeping, watching TV or relaxing with a good book.
In-chair teeth whitening is applied at the Queen Square Dental clinic. The products used are generally only to be applied by a qualified dental practitioner. These formulas are somewhat stronger than their at-home counterparts, but in many cases, you will get the whitening results you were hoping for after a single treatment.
The results of teeth whitening treatments offered at Queen Square Dental have long-lasting results, but they aren’t permanent. A good dental hygiene routine will certainly prolong the results, but you should also try to avoid the substances that stained your teeth in the first place.
Keep your whitening trays clean and stored appropriately. If you do find your teeth are starting to look discolored again, a quick trip to Queen Square Dental is all you need so you can pick up more of the teeth whitening formulas.
In any case, your teeth should have a beautiful luster for many months to come.
